We want to thank all of these businesses who donated items for our Patriot Paws Charity Auction. Firestone Tire Store Main Street Car Wash Rodi Computer Services Family Care Chiropractic LaHacienda Ranch Mimi’s, Lewisville Batteries Plus+ March Meeting 11 am, Saturday, Sept. 8 Huffines Chevrolet Hilton Garden Inn Hampton Inn Fastenal O’Reilly Auto Parts Corvette World Carr’s Corvettes We also sincerely appreciate all dontations made by members and efforts to collect things to auction off. Please consider this your thank you. Legends members did GREAT! The auction raised $2,500. Even though our original plans for our Live Charity Auction were derailed in January, we had a great turn out and response for the rescheduled auction at our February meeting. Perhaps we exceeded what we would have earned at the After-Holiday Party, because some members either turned their $70 dinner refund back to Patriot Paws or felt empowered to spend that much more at the auction. If you wish to add to the amount Legends will donate to Patriot Paws, please give or mail that amount to our treasurer, Roger Berry. Spring Creek BBQ 270 N Central Expy/US 75, Richardson (972) 669-0505 Program: Patriot Paws representative will be present to accept the donation from our club that has been collected from the Charity Auction and sale of Z-Alt oil this year.

Perhaps you can get together to coordinate your lodging, etc. during the trip. Let us know if you’re going. Members signed up: Roger & Marty Davis-817-239-0807 Caravan registration We have just started processing the Caravan registrations, which exceed 700 currently, and have discovered some registration errors. Let us remind everyone that the registration process is for individuals, not by car. That means BOTH participants must register for the event including selecting which Caravan. That means if two people are coming in one car, both must select the caravan. If you don’t have that selected for both participants, please go back and add that to your guest. Roc Linkov, NCM Events Manager Registration Hi guys and gals, This info is for those of you who have not yet registered for the 2014 caravan and for some that have. The following hints, advice, and instructions is offered to stopgap a lot of work for NCM personnel that shouldn’t be happening. First, when registering, do NOT sign up for the Ambassadors Luncheon, if you are not an ambas- 4 sador. This luncheon is a combination lunch/meeting of the ambassadors to discuss the interactions between clubs and the museum. If you have already registered and selected the Ambassadors Luncheon in error, you will notice that your registration has been corrected by NCM personnel. Second, if you have a significant other accompanying you on the caravan, both parties must be registered. Registration is not by car but by person. Everyone working on making this caravan as smooth and enjoyable as possible needs to have an accurate headcount. Third, when registering the second party, be sure and select the proper caravan for them. If you do not, your name will be in a caravan listing and the second party will be in a list of unknowns. Fourth, after you have completed your registration and you have the need to make changes to it, go back to the original form and modify it. Do NOT fill out a second registration for the additional items you may have selected. You will now be double counted (and double charged) if you do that. Please take time to read the form carefully when filling it out and make sure you have selected all the events and merchandise (with the correct sizes) before submitting the form. It will make your life and ours a lot easier. Thanks for your patience and understanding of what we are trying to do to simplify the whole process. Best regards and happy Corvetting to all.

CORVETTE LEGENDS OF TEXAS GENERAL MEETING Saturday, February 9, 2013 at 11:00 A.M. La Hacienda Ranch, Carrollton, Texas Outgoing President Tom Atchison is presented a past president’s plaque and gavel by current president, Sam Deneault. Outgoing President Award After an unprecidented twelve years as president of the Corvette Legends of Texas we allowed Tom Atchison to step back and take it easy for a change. He was presented with the president’s gavel and plaque to commemorate his awesome service to this organization at the February meeting. Tom was one of the founding members of this club when it broke away from Lone Star Corvette Club to focus on the older Corvettes. He still serves as National Corvette Museum Ambassador for the club as he has for many years. He worked with Huffines Chevrolet in Lewisville to become our sponsor and they have been a wonderful asset to our club for many years. He combines his other civic interests with our club activies, like Lewisville’s Rotary car show and Christmas Parade, etc. Tom promises to continue to be a familiar face at our meetings and events, but to relax and enjoy the club activities. Great job, Tom! The meeting was called to order by Sam Deneault, President at 12:05 p.m. Due to the cancellation of the holiday party, we held the live auction led by Dan Jacobs, who just happens to be an auctioneer, with help from Bill Preston. The auction was fun and pretty successful. Thank you to Dan Jacobs for an excellent job as well as Bill Preston for harassing, I mean, helping to get the bid prices up and items sold. The money from the auction will go to Patriot Paws, our club charity. A big thank you goes to Joel and Susan Joseph for basically organizing the auction; ie, paddles, bid sheets, item sheets, etc. That was a mighty big undertaking. Outgoing president, Tom Atchison, presented our Member of the Year award to Diane Preston, who does an excellent job with our monthly club newsletter. Sam presented Tom Atchison with an award for his outstanding job as our club president for the past 12 years. There were no Lady Legends, 50/50 or Raffle. AutoRama is February 15-17, 2013. There are 6 club members’ cars which will make up our club display. Upcoming Meetings Sat, Mar 9 Spring Creek BBQ, Richardson Meeting adjourned at 1:30 p.m. after the auction. Minutes submitted by Linda Deneault, Secretary. Martha Pinson, Jim Jenkins, Allen Eggleston, Jane Ellis and Roger Berry before lunch. 10 Member of the Year Award See cover photo Diane Preston with president Sam Deneault Kevin Shedden, Dan Jacobs and Ken Weller waiting for lunch at La Hacienda. Linda Deneault, Joel Joseph, Sherri Demmell and Susan Joseph check in items that members donated for the auction. At the February meeting this year’s Member of the Year Award was presented by past president Tom Atchison to Diane Preston, for being Legends Ledger Newsletter Editor. Well, it’s a little awkward writing an article about myself... But at least I have all the information. I have put together the newsletter for the club monthly since December 2007. I also published our membership directory complete with pictures of members and their Corvettes and regular updates to that directory. My husband, Bill, and I have been members of Corvette Legends since 2004. We moved to Flower Mound from Oklahoma City. In order to really enjoy any organization you need to get involved, and doing the newsletter has certainly done that for me. Because I do the newsletter, I think Bill and I participate more in club events. I feel like I should be there to take pictures and have the information for the stories. I’ve also had to figure out who people are and what their names are. If I’m not at an event, the other members have learned that I’m going to expect them to take pictures and put together an article for the newsletter. I have some really good helpers, who can be counted on to do this for the club. I also frequently e-mail photos around to various members asking for help to identify faces in the pictures... sometimes I get them wrong. Lots of times when I do put the wrong name, I actually know who the person is, but there’s a disconnect between my brain and my fingers. I do miss having a proof reader to catch my mistakes... but I know you’ll let me know when I make a boo boo. I worked as a computer graphics artist for Vox Printing where I produced newsletters for many customers and also designed trayliners and other printed products for McDonald’s stores. It’s really fun to do the Legends newsletter at my own speed and the way I want to without a boss or customer to consider. I know you guys won’t complain about how I do it, because you don’t want to have to do it... For Sale-61/62 Hard Top Tom Atchison, Julia Kelsey and Mary Jeanne & Tom Entrekin. David McGuire of the Red River Straight Axle Club has a 61/62 hard top he is selling. It is red, but needs repainting. Good glass, good headliner, good stainless, but is missing the wide stainless piece that goes across the front. As for price. I’m thinking around $3800. David [email protected] 11
